2018 Official Ragin Pagin Football Coaching Carousel Thread

...He wanted to play for UL after his baseball deal but realized that Jake was here and went to McN.....what keeps him here would be his son and that he loves Lafayette..... the desire to be the head coach and possibly more bucks in LC......no doubt he has some strong relationships from his playing and coaching days with the Cowboys, but Lafayette LC comparisons might come into play!

Update from FootballScoop on Louisville job opening......includes comments about Scott Satterfield and Neil Brown.

.......................................

Bobby Petrino is out, and much of Louisville’s roster is “in the portal” (i.e. considering transfer options). Word in the profession is that a rebuild won’t happen overnight — and that has become a negotiating chip in the Jeff Brohm sweepstakes.

Sources tell FootballScoop that Brohm, through his agent, put that chip on the table in discussions with Louisville about their opening. Brohm wants years and dollars commensurate with what they see as a process that will take time to rebuild. The ask, we’re told, is meaningful but not what anyone in major college football these days would consider over the top. Thus far, Louisville’s side has maintained that there are other viable options who would accept less and that Brohm should be “more reasonable.”

The song and dance continue, but we have been told that Louisville has put a mid-week “deadline” for a decision from Brohm. Deadlines spur action. If he isn’t willing to commit, Louisville has told Brohm they will move on to further discussions with other candidates. It is worth mentioning however that Brohm’s buyout reduces by $1.1 million either on or after Dec. 5, which is next Wednesday.

Should Brohm not accept the job, the two names sources continue to tell FootballScoop are at the ready are App State head coach Scott Satterfield and Troy head coach Neal Brown. Both are proven head coaches who have won with far less resources than Louisville has to offer.

Timing may not be right. I know the family is excited to be in Lafayette for Gunner's final season. Ashley was overjoyed to move back to Lafayette. A question to be asked here would be financial considerations. Viator was making 150 at McNeese. I don't know they were paying Guidry that much. Leger is making 140k here.

I'm not saying he wouldn't take it if offered, but there are other considerations here, I think.

Another example of why having that larger assistant's salary pool is key.

A coach in waiting job here would make him stay

Key to what?

Key to what?

I would suspect hanging on to good peeps and recruiting others when they do leave.

Coach in waiting? We have zero idea how long he’d be a coach in waiting. 1-3-5-7 years. No idea.

No if we want him as HC let him cut his teeth in FCS

Guidry base salary was $180,000

Good source telling me that three coaches interviewed for #TXST vacancy on Sunday: #HOU OC Kendel Briles, #OleMiss OC Phil Longo and #WVU OC Jake Spavital. Hearing Briles is the front runner.

All three of those on paper look really good.

Briles promoted a rape culture

Longo was part of a major NCCA scandal

I would not touch either of them Spavital is by far the best choice
